**Brief description of your project:**

An ESP32 powered light sculpture of one of the most important protein structures in cells: the microtubule! It will have basic cosmetic light modes, and some simple programmability (flash for notification). On-board temperature and humidity sensors and accelerometer makes it not just a nice looking desk light, but also a functional tool for monitoring your space or as an entry point into microprocessor programming.

**Current status of your project**:

The lights, 3D print part of the microtubule are finalised. The enclosure for the PCB still needs designing, but relies on the PCB. The PCB is planned to be part of the external design, rather than to be hidden away. A complete wired version of the PCB is ready, but it is not yet ready for fabrication

It needs
* Fixing of differential data pair traces
* Integration of (nice looking) PCB outline
* Integration of PCB art

After that there is still quite a lot of work with all software needing to be written (doesn't need to be super complex) and I need to figure out how to make a custom image of circuitpython for my board.

**References to your project documentation**:

The PCB files and printable source [are currently on GitHub](https://github.com/NemoAndrea/lumi-tubule), but there is not yet too much there.
